It is the old homestead of William T Morrison, the original and pioneer settler of Lancaster, who came here in 1826, and after whom it was proposed to name the north part of the town of Lancaster, when it was decided last year to divide the town. His remains lie buried in a little square cemetery, sheltered by a mammoth pine tree, only a few rods west of the house, itself an old-timer, having been built over half a century ago. In the little graveyard there are also seven others, children and relatives of Mr. Morrison, one of them his son-in-law, Dr. Charles Bradshaw, who practiced medicine in Lancaster, and two Hollingsead young ladys.
Checking newspaper indexing, death records, probate records and family genealogies on Ancestry the following has been compiled. The first six burials are correspond with the article written in 1905. The last three are most probably there also as the Locey name is the family of William's wife, Frances Jane Locey Hollingsead Morrison. The total compiled is nine rather that the eight mentioned in the article above. This property is located in North Lancaster Township, Grant County, Wisconsin. NW1/4 NE1/4 S36 T5N R3W
